Reading Lately

One of the things I wanted to do more of in 2017 is read. I tend to read on my phone with the Kindle app. But trying to give up being on my phone all the time makes that hard to do. I love taking the kiddos to the library so before we went I googled World War 2 fiction. I have been obsessed with reading about WW2 for about 2 years. I literally can't get enough. I found two books by the same author. Her name is Lynn Austin. The first one i read, while we're far apart, I could not put down!

While We're Far Apart I flew through. It was so good. I think I read it in 2 days. It is set in Brooklyn, NY and intertwines the lives of 3 very different people . Esther is heartbroken when her father enlists in the Army leaving her and her little brother home in the care of Penny. Penny has been in love with Esther's dad for as long as she can remember. When Eddie is looking for someone to look after his children since his wife is deceased, Penny jumps at the opportunity. Then you have Mr. Mendel who is the elderly Jewish landlord of the family. Mr. Mendel is waiting to hear from his son who is trapped in war-torn Hungary. I have just started A Woman's Place and have not been disappointed. It is about four very different women who become friends during World War II as they work together helping to build ships in a small town in Michigan. Any other good World War 2 recommendations?
